Thank you **Memory Maze Chipboard**

The
day after my daughter Catherine was born (8/21/12) we had a
photographer come to the hospital to take pictures. My husband was
about to be deployed and I wanted some pictures of him and our new
daughter before he left. In most of them I looked like a zombie, but
this one turned out pretty good. She is just over 24 hours old in this
picture. I am just so thankful for Catherine to be in our lives, hence
the title of "Thank You".

I
centered the picture in the middle and used purple as the main color,
with accents of grey, black, and white. I love to use clusters in my
layouts, small or large I just love to do them!! I use all sorts of
embellishments in my clusters, so chipboard is just one more of those
wonderful things I love to add.

I
cut the vintage pram apart and used the wheels and handle in my layout,
you can see them tucked in both of the clusters in the pictures below.

I
used the MM chipboard word "Thank You" in the larger cluster as the
main title for the page. I pressed all the chipboard pieces on this
page into Black Soot Distress Inks and then sprayed with water and
rubbed it in with my finger. I then took two different grey gelato
colors and rubbed them into the chipboard to give them a grey metallic
look. In this larger cluster you can see the handle and one of the pram
wheels.

In
the smaller cluster you can see the other pram wheel tucked under the
matted picture. Have fun with your chipboard, cut it up, use parts, and
play with it!!
